Triathlon for the Cure Benefiting the Susan G. Komen Foundation : Official Thread (Page 4)

I'm off to pick up my race packet and ride the course!  See you all tomorrow!!!!

Hey, good luck, everybody!  Really looking forward to it and, Kate, I'm glad to hear that the water was much warmer than Miami.

I had told some of you to look for me based on the outfit in my avatar.  There's a chance I won't be wearing that top, but might be wearing a black and white swirly-printed top.  Anyway, I'll be wearing a white ballcap, though, so don't hesitate to come up and introduce yourself.

My first impression: (this is my first Rabbit race)

The transition zone:  way festive- lots of flags.  Pretty close to the beach.  I was expecting a longer run to T1 from the water.

The water: WARM.  I am part killer whale but the water was VERY hot on my back.
We are swimming from marker 2 to 5/6 starting on the North end of the beach headed south.  Hopefully there are no asshats in their motor boats zooming by on the lake.  I hate breathing in diesel fumes and the waves they create- no thanks.

The bike course: expect wind on north and west facing rides. 
Several nasty road kill- one was puke worthy on Africa - ie I'm glad my stomach was empty.  I sure hope they clean those up!  
The power lines give off a very worrysome buzz.  You can feel it on your skin.  It prompted me to go 20mph.  Srsly.
The 'final hill' is not steep, but it's so long I chose to sit and granny gear it.  I may stand  at the very end during the race but for tonight my bum stayed firmly planted and I poked along at 8mph.

The shirts are cool- black w pink accent.
The caps are pink! 

I'll be in my BT gear and racing Athena.  I think Lupa is wearing black shorts and a sports bra- she's racing AG 35-40.  Come up and say HI!

Good luck and good race everyone!  See you all tomarrow! 

ZOMG!  Note to self:  There is little to NO eye candy at an ALL FEMALE tri.

Next year I'm doing Sunday's race- srsly!

Great race ladies!

What are you talking about!? There is plenty of eye candy at an ALL FEMALE tri!

Oh, I get it now.
